The Hidden Value of Water
From utility expense to net operating income: Why water is becoming a strategic asset for commercial properties.
Most organizations still treat water as a utility bill. This paper examines what happens when you follow that expense further, and what commercial property owners may be overlooking.

THE NUMBER EVERYONE MISSED
Water has been put in the wrong box.
Facilities asks whether the water system works. Sustainability measures consumption. Compliance watches regulations.
Asset management asks a different question:
What is water costing us, how is that cost changing, and what does it do to the economics of the asset?
The paper positions water at the intersection of facilities, sustainability, compliance and asset management.
01
Water consumption
Gallons enter the property and are used.
02
Water and Sewer expenses
Utilities meter, price and bill consumption.
03
Operating expenses
The bill affects property operating costs.
04
Net operating income
Recurring expense reduction can improve NOI.
05
Asset value
Recurring NOI is capitalized in commercial real estate valuation.
